How The Lord Used Us in March of 2017

Hello Brothers and Sisters!

God continues to bless us with opportunities to share Christ and to minister with the gifts He has given us. Last month we completed 5 MAD Live Events, equipping 376 people to begin sharing their faith in Christ with the people they meet every day. Pastor Ron and my brother in the Lord Charlie York went to Daytona Bike Week with me to share Christ with the bikers we met. Check out the Blog on our website or the ministry Facebook page to get the details on how we were used of the Lord…very exciting stuff! I also spoke at a weekend men’s retreat in NJ and preached at one Sunday morning service. We were blessed to be a part of 13 more souls being added to the Kingdom in March! All glory to God! What a privilege!

Here are a few of the testimonies for you to praise God for:

“It's been so long since you were at Osterville Baptist Church on Cape Cod. The Holy Spirit prompted me to respond to the last question a CSR, (customer service rep.) asked me the other day. Virtually all CSR's ask the same question. "Is there anything else I can do for you today?". My response is YES! "How can I pray for you today?" There is that sweet 2 seconds of silence that says so much. What an opportunity! My job, now, is to be faithful and pray specifically for this individual. What an honor! I have had multiple opportunities to bless many with this simple plan. Please try this yourself, and share it with all you know and meet.”

This one happened to me (Don) after a MAD Live Event in Bethlehem, PA - “Pastor asked me if I noticed the young man sitting in a wheelchair in the back of the sanctuary during my Gospel presentation. I told him, "Yes". He told me that he found out that the young man had been shot in Bethlehem and was paralyzed. He moved away 3 years ago and this was his first time back in Bethlehem since the incident. The young man does not attend church, but felt compelled to go to church today. He told his two friends about it and they agreed to take him. They asked him where he wanted to go and he mentioned that a long time ago he had stopped in at the church down the street (where I was teaching today). He suggested they bring him there. He attended the last part of the training and gave his life to Jesus Christ! He was very emotional and spoke with one of the church ushers. He told the usher of the decision he had made and said that his two friends were sitting outside in the car waiting fore him to be done. He said that he wanted his two friends to hear what I had presented and asked if there was someone who could go outside and share with them. Pastor Rick was nearby so the usher expelained what was going on and Pastor Rick wheeled the young man outside to the car where his two friends were waiting. The young man explained what had happened to him and Rick shared the Gospel with them. Both friends indicated that they wanted to surrender their lives to Christ in repentance and faith and Rick led them to the Lord! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS???? How great is our God!!!! Absolutely amazing! Praise the Lord!”

The translation of the MAD Live Event presentation continues and we hope to have it done soon. Please keep praying for Jimmy and Annabelle as they do this work.

Thank you for your continued prayers regarding our schedule. As you can see, God is at work answering them! There are some incredible doors being opened. Please pray for the requests below:
